Community members have organized a search for a 17-year-old city boy who has been missing since Jan. 29.

Participants will gather at the foot of Parade Street Tuesday at 10 a.m. for a prayer before fanning out on Erie's lower east side to search for Jacob Samusenko, according to information on the Facebook page Help Find Jacob Samusenko.

The search will continue until 5 p.m.

Samusenko, who lives in the 300 block of East Second Street, is 5 feet 5 inches tall, weighs about 130 pounds and has brown eyes. He was last seen wearing track pants.

A $10,000 reward has been offered for direct leads in the search, according to information on the Facebook page.
